Tilt-Shift Timelapse Transforms Brooklyn Into Giant Toy Set

In town for the Vimeo awards, Berlin-based Joerg Daiber was evidently inspired by the busy frenzy that is Brooklyn. Born of that inspiration is this singular example of the tilt-shift timelapse video form. Watch as thousands of itsy bitsy Brooklynites zipping around DUMBO, Grand Army Plaza, and the park under the Brooklyn Bridge. The most fun is clearly the amusement park at Coney Island: the ferris wheel looks exactly like a Lego set I had as a kid. Throw on a frenetic classical soundtrack, and you have a truly stellar warped portrait of a busy little borough.
